NOTE: The bug does NOT depend on a Synaptics touchpad. I am getting this behaviour on various Thinkpad notebooks that do not have touchpads, on the internal trackpoint as well as USB and Bluetooth mice. Thus --> description changed.
Thanks Alexander for taking over, it's the most annoying bug I've come by in a long time... ** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 - I have a synaptics touchpad and I'm using firefox 3.0~b3~cvs20080101t1000+nobinonly-0ub + I am using firefox 3.0~b3~cvs20080101t1000+nobinonly-0ub when I right click on a link sometimes instead of popping up the normal right click menu one of these thing happens: - the link is automatically opened in a new window - the link is automatically opened in a new tab - the add to favourites menu appears - link properties are opened ==== Workaround ==== Workaround: Disable accessibility in System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies -> uncheck "Enable assistive technologies" -> reboot Please don't comment if workaround fixes the problem for you. Otherwise, give hints how to reproduce please! ====Please read before commenting==== From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/187313/comments/140: "If a person is affected by this bug they can note this with the the "This bug doesn't affect me" / "This bug affects me" switch at the top of this page.
